Weight of the World Lyrics

A continent of doubt weighs heavy on my mind
How long can my brittle bones bend?
Before they yield and snap

I don't wanna know
'Cause I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this

'Cause it's too much to bear, my darling
The weight of the world
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me too
'Cause the weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear

Maybe it's gravity
that pulls her to my chest
Not the fear that she is the source of what little strength I've got left

I don't wanna know
'cause I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this

'Cause it's too much to bear, my darling
The weight of the world
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me too
'Cause the weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear

My horizon lies a jagged line
Oh I can clearly see
The mountains I've yet to climb
I'll get there if it kills me
